The journey through Emerald Point is a bit confusing since you cannot see Lake Tahoe or its coves from the center of this heavily forested peninsula. There really was no set trails and we had to climb over allot of logs but still without trying to get turned around stay our course. I knew eventually if I went through the forest I would come across the pristine waters of both Emerald Bay and Lake Tahoe. Its kind of free game when hiking here you go where you want and most of it is very offbeat.
